Wednesday Wonders

Here is a very late picture that I thought I would share.

Here in the South on the days leading up to Easter there are many icons with various colored cloths on them.

The most beautiful one is this one put up by a dear friend in the next town over.


There is a significance to the color of the draped cloth.

On Palm Sunday the drape is purple to signify that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

 On Good Friday the drape is black.

On Easter Sunday the cloth is white representing the Resurrection.

These crosses are everywhere in our town and even in our housing complex.

This pictured cross is by far the most beautiful with the palm leaf, the lilies and the purple drape.

It is so wonderful to live in a place where are so many loving Christians.  Not only that, but Christians who constantly talk about their religious lives.  So lovely.
